As parents we are often loathe to ‘label’ our children, worried that doing so may somehow define them unfairly and realising that they are much more than just a diagnosis.
A diagnosis of ASD however can have some benefits:
It is important to get an assessment with a Psychiatrist who is trained and experienced in diagnosing ASD, to ensure they consider all aspects of your child’s life and other conditions that may be present.
The ‘gold-standard’ approach to diagnosing Autism in children is to have several clinicians involved – this is known as a multi-disciplinary approach and ensures a comprehensive and objective assessment.
At Clinical Partners, the Autism assessment is built around evidence approved recommendations and with input from some of the most senior Psychiatrists in the UK.
An autism assessment should be a very thorough affair – the parents we help are often amazed at the level of detail our clinicians go into. As ASD is a lifelong condition (there is no ‘cure’) – they will want to be absolutely certain your child has ASD before offering you a diagnosis.
A very thorough process, handled with great care and consideration. We all felt very comfortable throughout and relieved to have finally got the diagnosis for our daughter.
